Gondiães and Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

At Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries stand alongside the manor house highlighted by the municipality. The group connects two functions: living and storing the harvest. Rather than looking only at the main house, it is worth recognising the importance of buildings supporting agriculture. The introduction to Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a landscape of plateau and mountain, shaped by farming and pastoralism. House and granaries can be read in that working context, although the source does not detail each property’s production. The house’s dating is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th-century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. That difference should remain visible. The photograph accompanying the reading shows the portal, not the three granaries. The heritage reference does not confirm access to the group.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.

An activity to try at your own pace, without collecting specimens.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Life you do not always see

Choose two ways to live in the river

Cavez · monitoring in 2016–2017

Six species beneath the surface

At station 22, the 2016–2017 report recorded six fish: barbo-comum, boga-do-Norte, escalo-do-Norte, bordalo, góbio and perca-sol, using their Portuguese common names. The station profile places it in Cavez. These results document that survey; they are neither a current inventory nor directions to fishing spots. The six names open six ways of looking at the river. The barbel leads to migration within fresh water; the nase to differences between young and adult fish; the chub to scale patterns. The bordalo and gudgeon help explore diet. The pumpkinseed introduces geographical origin. Open the cards to choose a clue and reach the species explanation. Sampling surveys and biological profiles serve different purposes. The survey documents fish recorded at that place and time. The profiles explain general species characteristics, without demonstrating that all these behaviours were observed in Cavez. Read both together while keeping that distinction.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Open two cards and choose a difference: current, power, displacement or origin.
  2. Read the corresponding stories and write a general feature of each fish.
  3. On the other hand, it records separately the common location: presence on sampling of Cavez of 2016–2017.

Comparison of sources on the screen; no need to catch fish or enter the river.
